Zoomania 2” Opens in German Cinemas, Expanding Zootopia’s World

Early reviews praise a lively family sequel that folds sharp questions about Zootopia’s origins into a breezy mystery.

Overview

  • The film opened in Germany on November 26, returning Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde for a new case built around a slippery suspect.
  • Judy and Nick pursue the enigmatic snake Gary De’Snake, drawing them toward a previously hidden reptile community without revealing key twists.
  • Critics describe a playful yet pointed allegory that probes the city’s founding myth, the exclusion of reptiles and corruption among elites.
  • Directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard and composer Michael Giacchino return, while Shakira reprises Gazelle with the new song “Zoo,” co-written with Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin.
  • The sequel ventures into bayou and underworld locales beyond the city, and promotions include an eBay charity auction benefiting Ein Herz für Kinder.
